Newcastle United vs Chelsea Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Newcastle United
- Odds: +175 (Tonybet)
Chelsea are coming off back-to-back wins against Everton and Cardiff City, but their away results in recent weeks haven’t been very good.
Before the EFL Cup victory over Cardiff, they had been on a three-game winless skid between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have been nearly unstoppable at home, where they’re on a nine-match undefeated run across all competitions (W8, D1). That includes four wins in their previous five Premier League encounters at St. James’ Park.
With their most recent home loss coming in September against Arsenal, Newcastle should extend their impressive form to secure the win here against a Chelsea side that tend to struggle on the road.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Enzo Fernandez 61+ passes
- Odds: -106 (Tonybet)
This line may be tricky, but Fernandez is the engine that keeps Chelsea going, whether they play at home or away. He only made 36 passes in the 2-0 win over Everton, but that was because the Blues were massive favourites. That isn’t the case in this contest.
Fernandez has recorded over 70 passes in Chelsea’s last two Premier League matches on the road, as the Blues need to take care of the ball when playing away from Stamford Bridge.
That could be the case again here, with Fernandez relied upon heavily to operate as the first passing outlet against a combative midfield of Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, and Sandro Tonali.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Both teams to score + Over 2.5 total goals + Over 4.5 total cards
- Odds: +220 (Tonybet)
Our three-leg parlay predicts a high-scoring matchup full of intensity and action at both ends. The scenario of over 4.5 total cards reflects the intensity Newcastle have shown in recent outings.
Their last five games have featured at least three cards, and their most recent EPL contest against Sunderland saw nine
The possibility of both teams scoring also looks realistic. If accounting for all competitions, four of Newcastle’s last five matches, as well as three of Chelsea’s previous five, have seen goals from both sides and over 2.5 total goals.
Both clubs have also found the net in six of their last eight head-to-head meetings.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Team News
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle United will be considerably depleted, with most of their absences on the defensive end. Sven Botman (lower back), Dan Burn (chest), Emil Krafth (knee), and Kieran Trippier (hamstring) have been ruled out, and the same goes for striker Will Osula (ankle).
As if that wasn’t enough, Nick Pope (muscular) and Tino Livramento (undisclosed) are considered doubtful.

Newcastle should have their attack at full strength, especially now that Yoane Wissa made his scoring debut in the EFL Cup on Wednesday against Fulham. Midfielder Sandro Tonali should also be available despite dealing with some discomfort in recent weeks.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea will be without one of their best players this season, as Brazilian teenage sensation Estêvão Willian is sidelined with a muscular injury and isn’t expected to recover in time for this match. His absence thins the team’s depth upfront since Liam Delap (shoulder) is also out.
The remaining absentees are the same long-term ones from recent games. That list includes defender Levi Colwill (knee), winger Mykhailo Mudryk (suspension), and midfielders Dario Essugo (thigh) and Romeo Lavia (thigh). Star playmaker Cole Palmer is back from a nagging groin injury and should be in the XI.
